We are really back in business!!!!!

Well, the time has finally come where Tennessee Pewter Company looks and feels like a pewter company. Wow! Dan and I have been on the ride of our lives. We have an empty lot in Brownsville that I pass every night on my way in and think what might have been...That is one dream that will continue to grow and one day flourish. Since all this we have become big fans of the megasite that will be located at Exit 40 off the interstate. The healing of this will continue for some time. Its a whole other chapter in the life of Tennessee Pewter Company.

Our new place is quite cozy in a good way. We have less than half the square feet in Brownsville but Dan has us organized where we are much more efficient and clean. The front living room is our new showroom, located to the right is my office with all I need. The dogs will be parked in there everyday with a big cozy area for them. I have a buffing room, a casting room, and the men have a spinning room. I also have a stainless kitchen (not sure when I'll have time to use it), but anyhow its there and great!! Our bathrooms are way cute. Yesterday, the electricians put up two really frilly fixtures in my guest bathroom. We are wallpapering after Christmas. The machines are in and we are operating on auxilary equipment until the electrical inspector passes us on Monday. Dad has already finished some of the BIG order pieces, he is doing Fantastic, its me that is waiting to get hooked up. I can not start my items until we are fully hooked up with my 3-phase power! Yes, of course I have had to put in a new power pole, somehow nothing we do is simple. I am feeling very tired but wonderful being back at what we set out to do last February. Somehow Dan has gone from being a CPA to Partner in a Pewter Company, not sure if its permanent but I am enjoying the help and time spent together. Its really great the whole family working together. Forrest and Natchez even get a huge backyard at the new place. That makes me happy for them.

We have made it through a building collaspe, trying to rebuild, and being shut down what will be 10 months and we are back and better than ever. Operating on 36 years of history is a daunting task but after the chapter we just finished we are All ready for another 36 years of Tennessee Pewter! Come visit us in Somerville.

For my friends, you probaly won't be seeing me anywhere but the Company until after Christmas, we just got another order for 5000 pieces due in December, so we might miss some fun times but look forward to a wonderful holiday season!

Well, I stayed home to do some bookkeeping so I better get to it.

Have a great weekend!
